In my opinion an LDR requires ten times the strength of a normal relationship to survive (To make up for so many essential missing components). Consider also the sacrifices required to make this form of a relationship functional. And consider also all the unknowns in the equation. Although it does work for some in some cases i wouldn't recommend pursuing one to begin with (Especially taking into account so many local opportunities).
...And agree with everything Shh! posted
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
